I had a goth friend who would always get laid without much trouble. At some point he got a normal job and had to "become a normie", and I learned that it wasn't because he was a goth, it was because he was a complete asshole with women, and some women, for some reason, can't resist assholes.
Being an asshole implies confidence.
Women like confidence.
Certain women like asshole confidence. Typically the type to write "I'm a bitch, deal with it" in their bios
The women that like arseholes, believe it or not, are also probably arseholes.
I've known many women who were very nice and intelligent, who dated assholes. Usually they end the relationship thinking "ugh, why did I do that? That guy was such an asshole."
They do this because women are human, and do the very human thing of making mistakes and regretting them.
sometimes you dont realise theyre an asshole until youre already a year plus deep
Damn I need to power off. I'm like how does anyone write in their BIOS? I'm pretty sure it's just settings. 😅
implies confidence.
nope. it implies a craven amount of insecurity.
it says something though that so many people assume this, it's certainly not just you.
No. Hi. Asshole here; zero confidence.
When you say things like "some women can't resist assholes" it sounds like red pill rhetoric. A better way to say it might be like "some assholes prey on women's insecurities". Keep the focus on the person who is the problem, not the victims.
When you say things like "some assholes prey on women's insecurities" it's incredibly condescending, especially when you consider that women can also be assholes.
Like begets like. I've known too many couples where both of the people in the relationship are trash.
Prince will steal your girl, then steal her clothes, then steal someone else's girl in those clothes
Can confirm.
I've let several women do my make up and they're always super enthusiastic that I'm down for that.
This depends on the guy. Some can pull it off, others can't. I'm one of those who can't. If I put on make up, I wouldn't look goth, I would look like a serial killer lol
It's not so much about looking "goth" but learning how to augment whatever natural attractiveness you've got and demonstrating a level of self-assuredness and self-awareness. Knowing what works for you is part of that.
"Goth" just happens to be a very bold and somewhat easier style to look decent. A more "nude" look is, counterintuitively, pretty difficult but there's almost no masculine individuals who wouldn't benefit from it.
Internalized homophobia is a hell of a thing to overcome. Some guys think those things are gay because that's what they were told by figures of authority.
Source: was raised as one of those guys.
Guys: I want a goth girl with big boobs
Also guys: ew goth. GAY!
been low key wanting to do Egyptian pharaoh shit for years but I work blue collar in hick country and don't dare until I can move out of the states
I was in Atlanta for the 2000 New Years celebration and I randomly bought a red and yellow zoot suit to wear, with matching shoes. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE gotten more attention from women than that night.
Well, there's two ways that could go. You could be 'that we>rdo, mike i think' or 'pharoah mike'.
Build a mythology about why. Tie it into local values. You lost a bet and then liked it?
bro I'm talking about queer-stomping throw Matt Shepard into the fence and kill him, country. the only way that's going is to a bad time. I like your idea, I'm just not trying it here
Men at some point decided to abandon style, and the result has been rather tedious. BRING BACK STYLE, EVEN BOMBASTIC STYLE
What about blue jeans and solid colour tshirts with no logos like a cartoon character
Of course girl with a goth profile picture and spiders in her name thinks goth style is hot.
In the meanwhile my bald head and nike sweatpants attract eastern european girls like a lamp with moths. You catch what you fish for.
The Danes, thanks to their habit to comb their hair every day, to bathe every Saturday, to change their garments often, and set off their persons by many such frivolous devices. In this manner, they laid siege to the virtue of the married women, and persuaded the daughters even of the nobles to be their concubines.”
Nike dudes even starting to get the monk haircut.
I’m too old, out of shape, bald, and too much gray hair to pull off goth. Though somewhere out in the universe is a photo of an 18-yo me dressed as Frank from RHPS. Make-up, died hair, fishnets… the whole nine.
You'd be surprised, man. Go to any metal or rock concert and you'll see guys matching your description pulling it off.
Way to share your kink, sis. Mines biting people with brains. Everyone’s unique.
kinky...
It's concerning that you had to clarify with brains
Well I like to bite. And I like smart people. Maybe I am a zombie lmao.
I do that but I only get 1 (one) pussy. It's my wife's, so it's plenty for me.
Ohhh, that's the reason why The Sandman always looked so tired and kinda damp all the time... He was nearly drowning. 🤌🏼
Early 00s were a great time. I rocked those painted nails and eyeliner 🤘 along with the baggy jeans, chains and spikes
Nowadays all I dress in is luminous shorts and anxiety 🤘
It's not gay, I'm just not goth. Also you can get quite far by not being a twat and knowing when to roll your sleeves up.
